Really now.. Im finding that the euroreef is doing all the work and the deltec just sits there and fizzes.. No foam at all.. But I figure as the bioload increases that will change..

How did you like them aqua medics?? I want to get a BK180.. but if the 2 do just as good as job.. I will just keep the 2!!

They work great, pull lots of crap out equally. I have them in 2 different chambers, one right after the other and they skim out close to the same amount every week.

Quite awhile back I remember people talking about this. I heard another theory, that the skimmers, because of different bubble fractioning... will skim out different parts of the dissolved organic load that the other one doesnt get. Bubble-size differences and 'hang-time' will vary I presume. It makes sense. And yes as people mentioned... cant overskim a tank.
